It has not taken long for the Microsoft’s glittering new Xbox 360 “Slim” to be tarnished by yet another hardware problem – this time the long-running problem of the console scratching DVDs into oblivion if subjected to motion whilst loading resurfaces with a vengeance, as the below video demonstrates.

The frenzied buzz over K-ON!!’s new season has driven pre-orders for the new season on Amazon Japan, giving the series the stratospheric state of possessing 10 of the Top 13 rankings on Amazon’s DVD / BD Top Sellers.

In related news, one prankster made 999 pre-orders for K-ON!! Vol. 1, an order that would cost over $66,000 USD to actually purchase, presumably to affect Amazon’s Charts, apparently unaware that Amazon’s rankings only count 1 order per customer.

Bakemonagatari‘s fourth DVD/Blu-ray discs are proving popular amidst fans – not only have the notorious unfinished (and in fact, entirely missing) parts been completed, but also Shaft have seen fit to revise some of loli icon Nadeko‘s scenes, giving her more exposure and some rather ambiguous serpentine insertion action.

Huh, the scenery looks better in BD, but the characters colors and faces look much better on TV.
Dammit, I hate this retarded two-version shit they do these days. Just make a show, air it, sell... More

A school teacher who distributed a DVD containing her home made sex videos to her own pupils has been mortified by the ordeal of trying to chase down the copies before her reputation was irretrievably besmirched, though sadly for her it appears her impromptu surprise sex education programme worked wonders…

Fans have been surprised to note yet another remaster of Evangelion, with the newly airing HD TV version of Evangelion You Are (Not) Alone 1.** carrying a trailer differing both from the theatrical and DVD versions, with some saying it looks to be the definitive version.

The comparison is visible above, with the DVD on the left and the TV on the right.

These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay.

It has been some time since we last covered sales rankings of this sort, but as the latest weekly rankings chart is quite similar to those of recent weeks, it does succinctly demonstrate what sort of releases are popular and being purchased on the streets of Japan currently.

Strike Witches actually made me feel something on the left side of my body!
I assume it was some kind of emotion, it seems I can only feel emotion as goosebumps.... More
